The Tour du Mont Blanc is a classic Mountain Travel Sobek adventure and a best-seller that's been perfected over 50 years.

In 12 days, you'll enjoy the best of Chamonix and circumnavigate the Mont Blanc Massif, staying at great hotels along the way.

We work with professional local guides, who are truly the best in the Alps. Many of our Alps-loving guests return to hike with them year after year!

Strenuous hiking on mountain trails covering 6-8 miles per day with maximum elevation gain of 4,200'. Exploration of scenic mountain towns.

Charming accommodations in alpine towns and villages, featuring comfortable rooms, on-site restaurants, and stellar vistas of surrounding scenery.

The days can change from hot to cold and wet. Snow is even possible at the high passes. Come prepared for everything.

The standard minimum age for this trip is 18. This itinerary is designed with adult travelers in mind, based on daily activity levels, accommodations, and overall group experience. Families or groups with children as young as 16 please check out our private departures .

We plan the itinerary carefully, but adjustments may be needed due to weather, trail conditions, or other factors. MT Sobek and our guides make thoughtful decisions when needed in real time to keep the experience safe and enjoyable, and any significant changes will be communicated as early and as clearly as possible.

Once your booking is finalized with MT Sobek and your trip has been confirmed to operate, flights may be purchased. If you are unsure of the status of your trip, be sure to check with your Adventure Coordinator prior to booking non-refundable flights.

Arrive in Geneva by 1:00 pm on Day 1 to join the scheduled group transfer. We strongly recommend arriving at least one day early to allow for international travel delays and to settle in before hiking begins.

Depart from Geneva any time after 12:00 pm on Day 12. A group transfer departs from Chamonix that morning. Exact timing is confirmed in your Final Details.

If arriving early and staying in Geneva, we recommend staying at an airport-area hotel like the Movenpick Hotel Geneva, Holiday Inn Express Geneva Airport, or Crowne Plaza Geneva, or at a centrally located hotel such as Hotel Royal or Hotel Edelweiss. Staying at a recommended Geneva hotel makes airport transfers, meeting up on Day 1, and departure logistics much simpler.

If you want to join the group in Chamonix, please book any additional nights at the group hotel directly with the property and, on arrival, let them know that you are traveling with MT Sobek. Room assignments for the tour are finalized closer to departure, so while your guides make every effort to keep you in the same room you booked on your own, it may not always be possible to avoid a change to the MT Sobek-booked room on the first night.

A valid passport is required to enter Switzerland, France, and Italy. Most countries require that passports be valid for at least six months beyond the end of your trip and contain at least one blank page for entry stamps. US citizens do not need a visa for stays under 90 days. Non-US citizens should consult their local embassy or consulate to confirm current entry requirements.

Transfers outside the provided group transfers are not included and must be arranged on your own. Guests typically select from among these three providers for private transfer services: Chamexpress , Mountain Drop Offs , and Alpybus .

Building a strong cardio base is essential for this trip. We recommend giving yourself several months to prepare, with regular aerobic exercise such as hiking, brisk walking, cycling, stair climbing, or similar activities that elevate your heart rate. Aim for consistency—multiple workouts per week are more effective than occasional long efforts.

Hiking is the most important form of preparation. Whenever possible, train on hilly or mountainous terrain to simulate the sustained ascents and descents that you will experience on the trail. If hills aren't available, stair machines or repeated stair climbing are good alternatives. Downhill conditioning is important, as long descents can be just as demanding as climbs.

Training with a loaded daypack will help build strength and endurance. Start with a light pack and gradually add weight as your trip approaches, making sure it's carried comfortably and doesn't strain your back or shoulders. Trekking poles are strongly recommended for this itinerary—if you plan to use them, practice hiking with poles during training.

Equally important is breaking in your gear. Train in the hiking boots, socks, and pack you'll use on the trip, so everything feels familiar and comfortable by your departure date. Some guests benefit from arriving a day or two early in Chamonix to rest, recover from travel, and acclimate before hiking begins.

Consistent, well-rounded preparation will make the long days more enjoyable and allow you to fully focus on the experience once you're on the trail.

We hike as a group with regular breaks. Guides help manage pacing so everyone can hike comfortably while maintaining safety and group cohesion.

Alps Tour du Mont Blanc Hiking is a Level 4 trip, and all guests should come prepared to complete the itinerary as designed. Many hiking days connect towns or cross high mountain passes, and there is often limited or no vehicle access, which means the route must be hiked through once you have started.

That said, options can vary by day and location. On select days when the group is based in or near a town, it may be possible to sit out a hike and rejoin the group later. Days 7 and 10 start and end at the same hotel location, and guests may choose to relax at the hotel without having to change locations on these days. Your guides will always explain the day's plan and help assess what is realistic and safe based on access, logistics, and current conditions.

Meals on this trip reflect classic French, Italian, and Swiss alpine cuisine, designed to be hearty, nourishing, and well-suited to long, active hiking days. You'll enjoy food that emphasizes fresh, regional ingredients, and simple preparations that provide plenty of energy and comfort after time on the trail.

Breakfasts are served at the hotels and are typically buffet-style, featuring items such as fresh breads, butter and jam, cereals, yogurt, cheese, fruit, and hot drinks including coffee and tea. These breakfasts are meant to be filling and flexible, allowing you to fuel up according to your appetite and the day's hike.

Lunches are picnic-style and include a variety of sandwich fixings, salads, cheeses, fruit, and snacks. Snacks are also offered at the beginning of the day, so you can have them handy in your pack along the trail.

Dinners are typically served later than is common in the US. Usually enjoyed at the hotel or a nearby local restaurant, there are often three courses, starting with soup or salad, followed by a main dish and dessert. Expect meals that are rich and comforting, often featuring pasta, potatoes, rice, or other high-energy staples, paired with meats such as chicken or beef, or vegetarian alternatives. Fresh baked bread is a consistent accompaniment, and desserts often reflect local traditions.

Yes, we can accommodate many common dietary restrictions on this trip with advance notice.

Let us know about your dietary restrictions and food allergies as soon as possible, so we can coordinate with guides, hotels, and restaurants. Please also list these on your Participant Information Form.

The Tour du Mont Blanc is a hiking trip through charming small mountain villages, where kitchens and ingredient availability can be limited. While restaurants along the route have become increasingly experienced with common dietary needs such as vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free, options may be more limited than at home.

Yes, a limited number of single rooms are available on this trip. About a third of our travelers go solo, and single room inventory often books up quickly!

Please note that the single supplement reflects the cost of a private room. Guests who prefer to share may request a roommate and pay the per-person double occupancy rate if paired with a roommate.

Focus on dressing in layers to accommodate varying weather conditions: waterproof rain jacket and pants, warm wool and synthetic layers, sun protection, and a comfortable daypack. Sturdy hiking footwear is essential.

Full rain protection—a waterproof, breathable rain jacket, and rain pants, such as Gore-Tex—is important throughout the season, as wind and rain can cause temperatures to drop rapidly, even in summer. Warm gloves and a hat that covers your ears are also important to carry at all times of year.

Layering is key on the Tour du Mont Blanc. You may hike in very warm or cold conditions, sometimes on the same day. We recommend synthetic or wool/synthetic blend clothing that insulates well, wicks moisture, and dries quickly. Cotton is discouraged in cold or wet conditions, as it retains moisture and can lead to chilling. Each day, you should plan to carry a warm layer and rain shell in your daypack, even if the weather looks clear when you set out. Being well layered and prepared allows you to stay comfortable and enjoy the hiking no matter what the mountains deliver. You may or may not need to use all the items that we recommend depending on the conditions you encounter on your trip, but it's important to carry them in case they are needed.

Be sure to review the full Packing List provided for the trip.

Guests should plan to bring one main piece of luggage and a daypack. Because vehicle space is limited, packing efficiently is important.

On this itinerary, luggage transfer is included, meaning your bags are moved from hotel to hotel while you hike—so you can focus on the trail, not your gear. Extra luggage may be stored at the hotel where you spend the first and last nights of this trip if needed. Luggage storage is also available at Geneva airport for an additional fee.

Sturdy, waterproof hiking boots are essential for this trip. You'll be hiking on rocky, uneven alpine trails that can be muddy or wet, and long ascents and descents make good traction and ankle support especially important. Medium-weight boots with solid lug soles work best and help protect your feet from sharp rocks and sustained downhill impact.

Some hikers are comfortable using low-ankle trail shoes in certain conditions, but you should also bring high-ankle hiking boots in case trail conditions or weather require extra stability. Whatever footwear you choose, it's critical that it fits well and is fully broken in before the trip. Hiking in unfamiliar terrain for multiple days in a row puts added stress on feet and ankles, and reliable, well-tested footwear makes a meaningful difference in comfort and safety.

Weather in the Alps varies significantly by elevation, valley, and day, and conditions can change quickly as you cross high passes. Even within the same day, you may experience sun, wind, rain, and cooler temperatures at higher elevations—this is classic mountain weather.

June often brings fresh early-season conditions, with average temperatures around 53-64°F in Chamonix and 51-62°F in Courmayeur. July and August are typically the warmest months, averaging 58-70°F in Chamonix and 56-68°F in Courmayeur, though afternoon storms are still possible. September is cooler and often feels crisper, with averages around 53-63°F in Chamonix and 51-61°F in Courmayeur, especially at higher elevations.

Because wet or windy weather can lower body temperature quickly, you should always be prepared with waterproof layers, warm insulation, and clothing that can be easily added or removed as conditions change throughout the day.

Yes. France, Italy, and Switzerland all use 220-240 volts, so you'll want to check whether your personal electronics support dual voltage. Many phone and camera chargers do, but some devices may require a voltage converter.

You will also need the appropriate plug adapters, as outlet types vary by country. France typically uses Type E, Italy uses Type F or Type L, and Switzerland most commonly uses Type J with some Type C compatibility.

Tipping is optional and based on your overall experience, but it is a common way to show appreciation for the care, professionalism, and expertise of your guides. Your trip is supported by at least one MT Sobek guide for every eight guests, and gratuities for hotel and restaurant staff are already included in your trip price.

For this international trip, we typically recommend budgeting the equivalent of $150-$250 USD per guide, per participant, in Euros. You will also have a dedicated driver for the duration of the trip, and a gratuity of $75-$100 USD per participant, in Euros, is customary.

Specific tipping recommendations for your departure will be outlined in your Final Details, which are sent about three weeks before the trip. Please note that tips should be given in cash, as our local teams are unable to accept gratuities via credit card, checks, or payment apps. Tipping is always at your discretion and should reflect your personal level of satisfaction.

Yes, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for all trips. Travel insurance can help cover trip cancellations or interruptions, medical expenses, emergency evacuation, travel delays, and other unexpected situations.

We offer travel insurance with Arch RoamRight and will be happy to provide you with a quote. Please see our Travel Resources page for more information.

Our MT Sobek guides are professionally trained and certified to the Accompagnateur en Moyenne Montagne (AMM), or Mid-Mountain Guide standard, as approved and recognized by the Union of International Mountain Leader Associations (UILMA), and carry medical kits in case of emergencies. Medical facilities are available in towns but can be far from remote trail locations.

Staying healthy on this trip starts with good pre-trip preparation and good daily habits. Hydrate consistently throughout the day, especially during long hikes, and eat regularly to keep your energy levels steady. On warmer days, using powdered electrolytes can help replenish minerals lost through sweat.

Foot care is especially important. Wear well-fitting, broken-in footwear, keep your feet dry when possible, and address hot spots or blisters early using moleskin or Compeed patches. Liner socks can also help reduce friction. Simple steps like trimming toenails before the trip and changing socks as needed can make a big difference over consecutive hiking days.

Hand hygiene matters as well—wash or sanitize your hands frequently, particularly before meals.

Prioritize rest and recovery in the evenings, and don't hesitate to talk with your guide about pacing, layering, or minor concerns as they arise. Addressing small issues early is one of the best ways to stay comfortable and enjoy the full experience.
